Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Unveil “Missionary” Tracklist With Star-Studded Support

by

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are making their studio album return with Missionary, their new collab project dropping on December 13. Now, we have the condom-themed cover art and tracklist for the record, indicating its playful vibe and teasing the featured guests that will be on it. They are the following: BJ The Chicago Kid, Dre on the mic, Alus, Jhené Aiko, Tom Petty, Jelly Roll, K.A.A.N., Sting, Method Man, Smitty, Cocoa Sarai, 50 Cent, Eminem, Dem Jointz, Stalone, and Fat Money. As you can see, there are some expected picks, some surprises, and overall a whole lot of variety on this forthcoming LP.

Missionary comes out via the Snoop Dogg-owned Death Row Records and Dr. Dre will be responsible for the album’s production. It’s a bit of a spiritual sequel to their 1993 classic Doggystyle, and its first single – “Gorgeous” with Jhené Aiko – drops tonight at midnight (Thursday, October 31). In fact, this is all part of a pretty prolific run for Tha Doggfather these days, as he recently featured on EARTHGANG’s latest offering, Perfect Fantasy. There are a lot of reasons to be excited about his output right now.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre’s Missionary: Features & Artwork

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre recently spoke on the creative process on Stephen A. Smith’s show. “Be original,” Snoop remarked. “Right now there’s so much copycatting, mimicking, sounding alike, and imitation. Find your production, your sound, find your ear for who you are, and be original even if it ain’t hitting. Stay you.” “Find your collaborators,” Dre added. “I don’t like the fact that there are nine different producers on one album. I like the idea of one producer on an album. Continuity is everything.”

Furthermore, this discussion of chemistry and continuity made a lot of fans even more excited for Missionary, even if they might disagree with Dr. Dre’s take. Regardless, we can’t wait to hear what Snoop Dogg and company have in store on December 13. In addition, plenty of other recent reflections and statements reminded us of why this moment could be so exciting. Kendrick Lamar recently revealed that they were at fault for his first public display of tears, and their magnanimous place in hip-hop will be a treat to witness.

Tyler, The Creator Unleashes New “Chromakopia” Teaser & Confuses Fans With Cryptic Hint

by

Tyler, the Creator is currently gearing up to drop his highly anticipated seventh studio album, Chromakopia. The project is slated for release on October 28, and recently, he delivered yet another preview of what’s to come. Today, Tyler unleashed a new self-directed video titled “Thought I Was Dead.”

Visually, it fits in with the rest of the promotional videos Tyler has dropped this month. As expected listeners are already loving the new track, and have flooded his YouTube comments section with praise. “IT’S SO GOOD WE’RE IN FOR A CLASSIC,” one writes. “CHROMAKOPIA WILL BE ALBUM OF THE YEAR,” another insists.

Tyler, The Creator Prepares To Drop Chromakopia

While the teaser has certainly managed to get fans excited, another one of Tyler’s latest moves has them feeling the opposite. He changed his Twitter/X bio to read “F*CKKKKKK FEATURES,” which some speculate could mean there won’t be any features on Chromakopia. This is unconfirmed, but some social media users are disappointed regardless, as they’ve been theorizing about who could appear on the album since the “St. Chroma” teaser came out earlier this month. Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, 21 Savage, and Little Simz are among the collaborators fans expected.

For now, it appears as though fans will just have to wait until Monday at 6 AM EST to see what this all means. Tomorrow, however, some lucky supporters in the Los Angeles area will have an opportunity to hear the project in full early during his listening party at the Intuit Dome. What do you think of Tyler, the Creator’s new “Thought I Was Dead” video? What about him appearing to hint at the idea of there being no features on his new album? Do you think this could be the case or not? Are you looking forward to finally hearing Chromakopia when it drops on Monday at 6 AM EST? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Yeat Reveals Stacked Features For Upcoming Album “LYFESTYLE”

by

Yeat’s buzz is bigger than ever. The rapper has been steadily building his following up, and refining his sound. LYFESTYLE, his upcoming album, is poised to be his commercial breakthrough, though. All the information we’ve heard surrounding the album has only served to increase the excitement for what’s to come. Yeat recently sat down for an interview with The Fader, and he not only spoke on the sound of the album, but released the list of artists who will feature. It’s about time.

Yeat already released the tracklist for LYFESTYLE, which sits at 21 songs, but the features were initially hidden. It was assumed that we would all have to wait until the album dropped to find out who was on the album, and who wound up on the cutting room floor. Thankfully, Yeat took mercy on us and revealed who will appear. The list did not disappoint. Yeat will have guest features from rap superstars like Kodak Black and Lil Durk. There will also be hooks from Don Toliver and acts like Summrs and Lazer Dim 700. Yeat is known for his rage style, which often blurs genre lines, but he told The Fader that he’s going full hip hop this time around.

Yeat Will Focus On Rap Collabs For His New Album

“LYFESTYLE [is] basically just my normal rap sh*t,” Yeat explained. “It’s not futuristic, it’s not like a whole different world. It’s the most polished I’ve ever came with the rap sh*t.” The features Yeat chose serve to support this narrative. Lil Durk, Kodak and Don Toliver are some of the most conventional rappers that he has worked with to date. Yeat has worked with stars like Drake before, but even then, the 6 God adapted to his rage style. It’ll be fascinating to hear how people like Durk and Kodak sounds on Yeat beats.

Those who prefer Yeat’s more experimental sound needn’t worry. The rapper told the outlet that his next album is already in the works. It will departure from LYFESTYLE in that it will sound like a refined version of 2093. “I don’t know when it’s going to come out, but it’s kind of like 2093,” he noted. “But a lot more refined. We’ve been spending a lot of time creating that sound in tandem with the LYFESTYLE sound for a couple months.” We can’t wait to hear it all.

Powers Pleasant Grabs 21 Different Features For “Life Sucks LP

by

Pro Era affiliate, producer, and DJ, Powers Pleasant, has delivered his sophomore project, Life Sucks. This the follow-up to the 30-year-old’s 2019 EP, Life Is Beautiful. That tape went on to feature the likes of now frequent collaborators Joey Bada$$ (Pro Era), Denzel Curry, A$AP Ferg, CJ Fly, Aaron Rose, Meechy Darko, and more. All of those same guests are now on Life Sucks, which can sort of be viewed as Powers Pleasant’s debut LP.

Leading up to the release of this tight 13-song tracklist, the Melt My Eyez See Your Future beat maker put out two singles. The first was the boastful and triumphant “Rumble” with Mr. Bada$$. Honestly, it should’ve been the tape’s opener, but Denzel Curry and Hannah Mundine’s “Entro” does the job too. Then, in September, Pleasant would deliver “Shmoke”, an East Coast trap/Jersey club mix that’s all gas and no brakes. In fact, that’s what most of this tape is. Plesant’s selection of guests (21 unique ones!) certainly helps make this a fun and easy-to-digest listening experience. Give it a spin with the links to your favorite streaming services below.

The Alchemist Hypes Fans Up With Tracklist & Cover Art For New Album “The Genuine Articulate”

by

The Alchemist is dropping a new album on Friday (September 20), and fans couldn’t be more excited about yet another release in this prolific catalog. The legendary producer led the rollout with the single “Ferraris In The Rain” featuring ScHoolboy Q, indicating that this will boast many lyrical performances from him as an MC. Now, he shared the jagged but slightly regal cover art for the project, as well as the features for it. Across 8 tracks, Uncle Al will spit verses alongside Action Bronson, Big Body Bes, Havoc (all love to Mobb Deep, RIP Prodigy), Conway The Machine, and Larry June.

Moreover, this should make up for the disappointment that many fans expressed when Eminem released the Expanded Mourner’s Edition of his new album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). Many fans hoped that The Alchemist would lend some production to new deluxe cuts, but this was sadly not the case. Their strong bond has led many to beg for more collaborations, but it looks like they’re saving those for a very special occasion. Hopefully that’s sooner rather than later…

The Alchemist’s The Genuine Articulate: Cover Art & Features

What’s more is that The Alchemist’s prolific streak obviously doesn’t just refer to his projects and releases as a solo or collaborative artist, but also to his production work with other musicians. For example, he recently produced A$AP Rocky’s latest Don’t Be Dumb single, “Ruby Rosary” featuring J. Cole. It was a welcome surprise as a team-up, with the tender, eerie, and languid beat contrasting with Rocky’s typically animated delivery. Of course, Cole does his thing, too. We can’t wait to see what comes next, especially if it’s as new and exciting of a joint effort as that.

Fortunately, we already have a good idea of what that could look like. Big Sean recently revealed that he and The Alchemist are working on a full collab project. The latter just produced the former’s “Together Forever” off of his new album Better Me Than You, and they previously linked on “Palisades, CA” off of the beatsmith’s Larry June joint LP The Great Escape. We can’t wait for Friday and beyond!

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s “VULTURES 2”: More Mainstream Names Lead To Left-Field Sounds

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 2 is another big-time event. Just like the first installment, they have pieced together another long list of some of the biggest names in hip-hop. But where these LPs differ is the overall soundscape. It’s a nice change of pace that has a lot of curveballs. In fact, you can make an argument that there is a more diverse collection here compared to VULTURES 1. That is something that definitely highlights the more experimentative side to the production.

For example, “SKY CITY”, featuring 070 Shake, CyHi, and Desiigner sees Ye and Ty take on a more acoustic approach. Production can be attributed to Kanye, Timbaland, and BoogzDaBeast. “RIVER” is another prime sample of more risk-taking and one that draws some inspiration from JESUS IS KING and DONDA. Charlie Wilson, Young Thug, Leon Bridges, and The Inter Milan Ultras make a perfect melting pot of overall performances. Pi’erre Bourne, Ye, and London on da Track, are just a few of the hands that were involved in putting this soulful cut together.

However, you also get you share of pure bangers and more rap-centric songs. Features like Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Future, Lil Wayne, Lil Durk, and Lil Baby all bring out Ye and Ty’s more aggressive side. Trap rap beat makers Wheezy, ATL Jacob, FNZ, and Dez Wright, are just few bring their special sauce to the table in that regard. Whenever we get VULTURES 3, we can only imagine that ¥$ will continue to dump tons of money into bringing on the best of the best.

What are your thoughts on the features and producers that are on Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 2? Comparing the two installments in the series, which one is better based on the talent? How do you feel about the constant stream of complaints surrounding the mixing and final assembly? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and VULTURES 2.

LL Cool J Unveils First Album In A Decade, “The FORCE,” With Nas, Eminem & More Features

by

LL Cool J’s been teasing his comeback album for quite a while, and now we finally have a stronger idea of how it will shape up. Moreover, he recently announced his first full-length project in over a decade, The FORCE (Frequencies Of Real Creative Energy), set for a September 6 release date through Def Jam Recordings and Virgin Music Group. Q-Tip handled a bulk of the production, and with 14 tracks and some big features, the “Passion” MC is gearing up for a pretty impactful and compelling drop. The aforementioned track is our second single from the project, following the Rick Ross and Fat Joe-assisted “Saturday Night Special.”

Furthermore, other featured guests on this LL Cool J album consist of Snoop Dogg, Sona Jobarteh, Saweetie, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Eminem, Mad Squablz, J-S.A.N.D., and Don Pablito. “[I was] going back to the drawing board and learning how to rap again,” LL remarked about The FORCE‘s process to the Associated Press. The LeBrons, the Stephs, the Jordans and the Kobes, they all go back to the drawing board, they always try to make themselves better. I wasn’t trying to do trendy, and I wasn’t trying to recapture anything I did before.”

“When it was done, I listened to it,” LL Cool J previously said on The Breakfast Club about a scrapped version of this album that he recorded with 50 Cent, which was one of many abandoned ideas that eventually led to The FORCE. “I’m like, ‘It sounds good.

Childish Gambino’s Feature List For New Album “Bando Stone” Allegedly Revealed

by

Childish Gambino’s new album Bando Stone & The New World is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated releases of the year, and for good reason. There have been a lot of great clips of reported project cuts, plus a hot new single, a revamped version of his 2020 album, and a new film to boot. But folks are speculating a lot about what features we can expect on the LP when it drops on July 19. Per some online reports, we have an alleged guest list to look at. But take it with a grain of salt, as we’re not entirely sure of where this information came from.

According to NFR Podcast, for example, Bando Stone will feature Yeat, Kamasi Washington, Amaarae (twice), Steve Lacy, Fousheé, Jorja Smith, Chlöe Bailey, Flo Milli, and Childish Gambino’s son. The platform also suggested that this information comes from the New York City listening party that he recently hosted, and that not every track from the album was previewed. As such, maybe we can expect even more features on the album in addition to these. However, it’s also entirely possible that the final version won’t include this exact list, so we’ll just have to tune in and see.

Read More: Childish Gambino’s Essential Songs

Childish Gambino’s Rumored Feature List For Bando Stone & The New World

What’s more is that this feature list is pretty exciting regardless because it points to the versatility to come on Bando Stone. After all, Childish Gambino’s lead single to this album, “Lithonia,” is a dramatic alt-rock-leaning cut that is unlike much of what he’s done in the past. With these rumored guests in mind (Fousheé and Steve Lacy were actually at the listening event), we can only expect similar lushness and variety on the project. If not, then we’re sure that Donald Glover’s mind will be enough to bring this approach.

Meanwhile, as for the Bando Stone movie, we still don’t have many details on when that will come out or how. But fans are still excited either way, and how couldn’t they be? Childish Gambino is one of the great multi-disciplinary creative minds of our time, and one that doesn’t pop up too often. So we can’t wait to see what wild world he will explore here.
